Crossword Challenge Puzzle 467 Clues and Answers
This page covers all 30 clues of Crossword Challenge Puzzle 467, an 8×10 grid that mixes picture clues with short word clues.
9 of the 30 answers are one or two letters long. 5 clues are pictures, and 1 of those asks you to fill the gaps in a word printed on the image; 1 clue wants only the initials of the clue words; 2 want just the first letter of a single word; 2 clues are fill-ins, and 1 of them needs only the missing letters. The longest answer runs 9 letters and belongs to “Kiss-up”.
The edges of this grid check each other. The top-row answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Blossom filled”, read left to right, and the left-column answers begin with the letters of the answer to “Kiss-up”, read top to bottom.
